Wow! This was your first after your dark ages? Incredible. The purple roof is quite interesting, I like it. Where on earth did you get all the purple tiles? This whole MOC is designed very well. There are too many cool details to go into since I am about to leave for work, but I think this tower is my favorite: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/schli ... wer_01.jpg

Keep up the good work,

The purple tile roofs are very, very cool. I like the pig pen with pigs, including suckling piglets The castle doors and the spacey pieces on each side look neat. All said this castle has a very "fantastical" feel to it. The tan/brown wattle and daubbish buildings on the one tower are quite striking.

Sadly I am only on dial-up and could not veiw all the pics in full size (they are too big, too long to load), so I am probably missing a lot of other details. Very nice, very inspiring.

Well done, Jens. The attention to detail that I've seen is amazing. Makes me drool. I'd love to build something like that (but my wife hates purple so I'd pick a different colour).

Seeing all the wizard-warriors standing and marching around, I couldn't help but feel like I was looking at a "Where's Waldo" take-off. Great fun.

Amazing!!!
I never thought purple roofs & colors would be appropriate for castle but I was wrong. You pulled it off very well!
It's one of the best "Fantasy" type castles I have ever seen!
Very clever how you made the pigs! The details are quite beautiful & lush.
Really Unique!
Looks like it popped out of a fairy tale book.
Great Job.....Hope to see more of your creations in the future.

Welcome to this forum! I remember we "ooh"ed and "ah"ed over this creation when it first appeared on Brickshelf. The whole thing is amazing, and it is definitely the best use of purple in any castle-themed MOC. My favorite detail is probably the curved roof on the chapel.

I must say that that is incredible. I love the various towers, but the protruding plates on the round one are distratcing. The layout is also excellent, as are the various features like the stables and well. The chapel is quite something, but it seems too small to me... The attention to detail on the inside is fabulous, and I love the trapdoor system.

The huge army of wizards just seems too huge... I hate to say this, since it's obvious you spent a lot of time on them, but I would imagine that there would be fewer, perhaps two-thirds as many, and in more varied colors of robes, like blue, brown, shades of gray, sand red, perhaps, and maybe a green or two... Then it would look excellent. I love the rooftops and uneven look of them.

This is a really wonderful Castle. I really like the Purple Mage forces - you really worked that theme well. The Secret entrance is very nice and the trap is marvelous.
The pigs and piglets are great - now I have a use for those pink pieces!
I also really like how you did the Scarecrow and the birds in the fields - nice idea.
I also like the use of the horns on the horse barding used to cover the drawbridge "chain" holes. Are these bardings also being used to guide the string? or just as a cover ? I couldn't really tell.
Also is the whole castle sitting on tiles or just the curved and angled sections? I see them at the front gate so that is why I ask.
I also like the use of the curved slope space pieces at the front gate - I have been trying to think of a way to use the ones I have. The roofed portions of your towers jutting out from the side break up the walls wonderfully. I will have to try that.
The modular nature of the towers is also excellent. I have learned so much from looking at your work! Wow!
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
